Abstract

The authors study continuum percolation and aggregation in binary mixtures of strongly interacting particles. The clustering and connectivity behaviour of the dispersed particles are determined using the Ornstein-Zernike integral equation in the Percus-Yevick (PY) integral equation. Specifically, they consider a binary mixture of spheres in which the interactions between like species are strongly attractive, while the interaction between unlike species is purely repulsive. They model this system through hard-core square-well (SW) potentials, which they approximate by the adhesive hard-sphere model, which yields analytic solutions in the PY theory.
